Our typically Tuscan apartment is in the city center, a one minute walk to the main piazza, art and culture, restaurants and dining, shopping, people watching, and great views. Vicolo Sernini 6 is good for couples and solo adventurers. The apartment has ground floor entry, and is in a quiet neighborhood. Free parking is located a few minutes walk outside the city gate.

We love this apartment and all it offers. As you will see in the pictures, the space is very charming. The loft is sunny and calm, perfect for reading or watching a movie. The main piazza, where you can grab groceries or go shopping, is only a short 5 minute walk from the apartment.

Great location, cosy apartment and so clean! The meet and greet service was also excellent and the owner was very responsive to my emails. The weather was very hot and the local team assisted in getting an extra fan for us too which made sleeping even better! Great visit.

Fantastic apartment in the prefect location in Cortona. Getting keys and finding the apartment was easy and seamless. We had everything we could possibly need and I'd stay here again in the future. Grazie!

Liz2016-10-07T00:00:00Z

Albert (host) is very professional. We didn't meet him, but he did communicate promptly via email and also provided a wonderful brochure with helpful information about the area. The apartment is fabulous - it is so nice and clean and has everything you need. We were very thankful that it was very close to the entrance to the city because Cortona has a lot of hills. Albert also provided a bottle of wine and fruit. Albert works with a travel agency so arrangements were made for us to meet with with a representative of the travel agency and we were escorted to the apartment. Cortona is a lovely town. Thank you for a wonderful place to rest during our vacation. If we are lucky enough to return to Italy someday, we would want to come back here and stay. Joe and Brenda

The apartment is very nice, well renovated in an old building. The location is perfect for visiting Cortona, we have been to the festival of photography and it was comfortable. Warm welcome. Highly recommended!

We were greeted by Michela who was so welcoming and wonderful. There was a beautiful plate of treats when we arrived too which was a really lovely touch! The apartment was very clean and nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. I would, and probably will, stay here again! Great location 5 mins from centre too!

We stayed a week in this house for the New Year. A great apartment, warm and welcoming. It not really lacked nulla..letti comfortable and fully equipped kitchen. It was a pleasure to return to Cortona (URL HIDDEN) definitely still will opt for this solution.

Maria Luisa2017-01-06T00:00:00Z

The house, as do the owners are very welcoming. Tastefully decorated but also very practical.

A one bedroom apartment recently renovated and located on the fourth floor of a Tower in the historical centre of the town. The apartment spans two floors, and includes a small kitchen space and a small balcony. The views across the town and Tuscany are extensive, and the bedroom features three windows with breathtaking views on all three sides. The bathroom features a shower, located on the same floor as the bedroom, with a cupboard and full length mirror.

This place is spectacular! It's a truly unique space that gives you a commanding view of all of Cortona! Sure, there are some stairs involved, but you're staying in an ancient tower - yet with all the comforts of home!

Lou2017-04-22T00:00:00Z

The apartment is located in a strategic position (50 meters from Republic Square), the view is magnificent and puo`godere in all rooms of the house thanks to the many windows in the apartment. the rinovazione is very pretty.

Antoni2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

Fun place to stay although the stairs are not for the those who are wimpy!!! Comfortable bed, hot water shower was wonderful, kitchen a little sparse but highly recommend this home. Thank you

Julie2017-04-29T00:00:00Z

If you can handle steps you will love Ugilino's rental. The apartment was very clean and tasteful, including artistic touches in the painting and trompe l'oiel in the bedroom and stairwell. The view of the Tuscan hills from the tower are to die for. I would highly recommend Ugilino's rental. Very quiet and just a short walk to restaurants and shops.

David2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

The tower was incredible and Ugolino & Lucia were great hosts. While the room was not ready when we first arrived, when we came back later in the evening everything was perfect and we had an excellent stay. Lucia & Ugolino sorted out everything wonderfully and they were extremely helpful in giving us suggestions for taxis and where to eat. We definitely want to visit Cortona and stay in the tower again!

Cindy2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

I cannot stress this enough: you are staying in a tower in the center of Cortona. How cool is that? Honestly, this place is a gem. Do you have to climb many flights of stairs to reach your room? Yes, but you're living in a tower! The views of Tuscany from the kitchen and the bedroom are absolutely breathtaking. Perfect for a romantic getaway. The apartment itself is simple. There isn't too much furniture, but that's the charm. Why sit in a chair when you can stand on the tiny balcony and take in the view of the Tuscan hills? Why lounge on a sofa when you can sit at the small kitchen table and breathe the fresh air? Bottom line: don't go in expecting luxury-- go in expecting simple, rustic beauty. Ugolino was very communicative and arranged a taxi to pick us up from the Cortona train station. I highly recommend you do the same, as you'd be surprised how quiet the station is, and unless you arrange transport it is likely you'd have to wait there for a long time. Walking to Cortona proper is not really an option. Arriving and checking in was a breeze too, thanks to Ugolino's ADORABLE mother. My girlfriend and I were secretly hoping she'd invite us in for dinner, only because we wanted to chat with her for longer. Absolutely charming, speaks English very well, and really set us up for a wonderful experience. In sum, if you don't mind some stairs, and are looking for a unique experience, I highly highly recommend booking this place.

Great welcome, kindness and helpfulness made our stay as a really nice accomodation, especially because it has accepted with love even our dog. Attentive to our needs, welcomed us into finding housing already heated. Strategically located, it allows to reach with the car in front of the entrance allowing easy loading \ unloading of luggage, remaining virtually around the corner from the main street. The outdoor garden, the housing relevance, was in good condition and perfect for those who want to leave the dog.

It was an amazing experience at Francesco's room. Everything was in order, a colonial customised place, organized like a hotel. The service and breakfast are good. Definitely a beautiful place to stay!

The apartment has air conditioning and WI-FI in all rooms; inside is a chapel consecrated to celebrate your exclusive private ceremony.

Our stay in Cortona was nothing short of perfect. On our day 15 of touring Italys big cities, Cortona was a perfect place to appreciate Tuscan hospitality and beautiful countryside! Mioara and Enzo we a perfect team looking after every detail, including a welcome biscotti! Their home (and even fridge if you can believe that!) was well stocked, the room was incredibly clean, and the location was perfect! Mioara arranged for a driver (more like a super friendly tour guide!) and welcomed us at the appartment like we were life long friends coming to visit. This team and appartment sets the bar all AirBnB hosts should be measured against!! Both Cortina and these hosts are a definite repeat visit!

Randy2017-05-19T00:00:00Z

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here. The house is perfectly situated near the town walls and the central square - a very easy walk to anywhere you need to go. The space was immaculately clean and had everything you could need, with lots of space. The hosts were fantastic. Communication was easy, as was check in and out. We forgot an item at the home, and Enzo was kind and helpful in coordinating. We would absolutely stay here again - hopefully soon!

Luca2017-02-19T00:00:00Z

Laura was simply amazing. She pick up us at the train station. She helped me to suprise my mom by buying a cake for the mother's day. The Next day she take us to a rental car and wait until we solved the request. Then the rental car cheat us and she worried about It, speaked with them and care about us until the end. She is fantastic! And about her (URL HIDDEN) words left... It is simply gorgeous the best decoration ever! If we come back to Cortona we Will go to her House again! Thank you for everything bella!

We loved staying at Laura's apartment! It was beautifully decorated, looked like it was out of a magazine! Just the right amount of space for two people! Very close to the Piazza. We walked all over Cortona from her place! Parking was pretty easy once you find the free areas, not too far from the house!

We were delighted by both, the beautiful city of Cortona and Lauras gorgeous appartment, where you can find more than 50 tuscan shades of grey, beautifully arranged and decorated. You will never see grey with same eyes as before, once you `ve spent a few days there. Laura was so kind and picked us up at Camucia train station and brought us back there after check out. Everything we needed, she was on our disposal. One of the "dolcest" appartments in one of the "dolcest" towns of Tuscany, highly recommended.

The lovely apartment is in the historic center of Cortona, and only 2 minutes walk from the charming Piazza Signorelli. My comfortable apartment is newly renovated and can accommodate 2 to 4 people. Characterize its cool atmosphere, comfortable and functional. Enjoy Cortona!

My lovely apartment enjoys the convenience of being on the ground floor, completely restored maintaining the original architectural features of the ancient village as possible where it is located, but at the same time playing on the colors of the furnishings creating fresh atmosphere, pleasantly relaxing and functional.
It's consists of a bedroom with queen bed (160x190 cm), spacious living room where if necessary you can use the sofa bed, dining table, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower. Services: free WiFi, 42-inch LCD TV with satellite channels, heating and washing machine.
Just 200 meters you find yourself in Piazza Signorelli, and in the most characteristic streets of Cortona.

You will find yourself in the historic center of Cortona, a few meters away Dardano with its trattorias with typical Tuscan cuisine, food, fresh pasta shop, tobacconist, souvenir shops. Always around the corner where you can taste the Wine features in addition to delicious local wines and not, cured meats, cheeses and appetizers. From spring to autumn, Cortona is the place of numerous events (music, theater, dance, exhibitions etc) so every day even without leaving you spoiled for choice how to spend your day or evening.

Alessandra's place was incredible. She has clearly put a lot of thought and effort into making it a perfect experience for her guests. She picked us up from the train station on arrival and made herself available throughout our stay to help with questions. The location of this apartment was ideal for immersing ourselves in the lovely slow-paced culture of Cortona. It made for one of our most unique and memorable vacations ever.

James2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

Charming apartment decorated with such attention to detail. Fantastic central location with a short walk to attractions. A quiet residential feeling even though it is so central. Alessandra was very welcoming and helpful. Old building was nice and cool without airconditioning. Free parking was a short walk outside the city walls. Romantic setting with steep and narrow streets. Would stay here again and recommend.

Fiona2016-08-31T00:00:00Z

Alessandra's place is in beautiful Cortona, an ancient town. Ideally furnished with everything you need and so quiet at night you can hear a pin drop. She was a great host and always available to give us any tips we required! Thanks!

Gary2017-04-11T00:00:00Z

Alessandra is a wonderful and accommodating host. We arrived at a night and got lost trying to see street signs in the dark, making us very late to our scheduled meeting time for check-in. Alessandra was so patient with us and nothing but courteous. The apartment is very spacious and an easy walk from one of the free parking lots outside of Cortona (as it is not possible to park within the city walls). Cortona is an extremely steep city, but the location of Alessandra's apartment between being close to the parking lot and close to the center of town means an easy 1 hill walk for either need.

Rebecca2017-03-20T00:00:00Z

The house Alesandra is everything a traveler can ask for an accommodation, well located, spotless, well appointed with great taste and quality in the decoration and the best an unbeatable attention of his host, without thinking twice return to the house Alessandra !! thanks

Alessandra is a fantastic host. She greeted us warmly and gave great advice on where to eat and what to see in and around Cortona. Her recommendation for Trattoria Toscana is spot on. We loved it so much we ate there twice! The apartment is cosy and clean with everything you could need. I would highly recommend staying at Alessandra's apartment.

Mellisa2017-05-09T00:00:00Z

Alessandra is really lovely and kind. She prepared everything for us with maximum detail and she was always available for us. She help us so much with their advices about what to see in Cortona and some restaurant to lunch. The apartment is located in the heart of Cortona, and is really really nice, I am in love of this apartment. It was very clean and it is equiped with everything that you could need. We recommend it 100%. We hope to come back someday and of course, we will repeat here.

Ilaria's casa is a jewel of a place. Very well situated in a residential area. Really comfortable king size bed, marvelous shower. It's charmingly appointed with an artists eye for scale and detail. We felt immediately at home. Very glad for the wonderful heating system! The view from the bedroom is perfection! Read Under the Tuscan Sun while there - Ilaria's copy - and could not have felt more at home. Her suggestion for the local restaurants was brilliant!

Charmingly restored, artistically decorated. Comfortable, functional and spacious with an awesome shower. Ilaria was accessible and readily available to answer all our questions and guide us to her apartment. The apartment is with the midieval wall on a quiet residential street, just off Piazza Mazzini, a convenient grocery store around the corner and five minute walk to the centre of Cortona. A gem of a place.

Very good contacts with Ilaria before and during the stay. Housing is very well located in the charming medieval town of Cortona, near the center and quiet. Many tasteful interior of this housing remains very cool despite outside temperatures. Every comfort is present along with a superb shower with bench and fountain. I recommend this accommodation in Cortona.

The apartment we liked everything: the location, decor, lighting, modern details. The house is located in one of the streets clinging to the walls, a few steps from the Duomo: perfect location to reach in two minutes the MAEC, the diocesan museum and some of the best restaurants in town. The bedroom has windows on two sides: one facing the inland, the other over the fantastic panorama from the walls. The hostess was very attentive, thoughtful and friendly, starting with directions to the place, to the goblets of wine to welcome us, perfectly timed to the board on where to dine, the assortment of guides and leaflets which we left for consultation. Do not overlook the fact that at the end of the day you can refresh with a shower in a very spacious shower with rain shower and 'sauna mode' with seat: ideal for strength after hours spent around to enjoy the wonders of the place.

In an old building of the historic centre, situated on the second and last floor, two symmetrical doors lead to Terrazzini di Cortona, two lovely apartments both characterised by a small terrace with wonderful view on the entire valley. A unique view that stretches to the Lake Trasimeno and the peaks of Mount Cetona and Amiata, and dominates form above the town of Cortona with its old buildings, old rooves, hidden terraces and small secret gardens. Here, from up the building, you will be able to enjoy the silence, peace, unforgettable landscapes and the wonderful sunlight that illuminates the living area almost all day long. It will be a pleasure to contemplate the sunset with its evocative colours on the terrace, to drink a glass of good wine, to relax reading a book or just to sit pampered by the warmth of the sun. The access to the apartment is composed of two staircases, each with 18 steps. The entrance door leads to the bright living room with sofa and TV and dining room for 4/6 people. The night area disposes of a lovely and spacious double bedroom and bathroom with shower box. Free Wi-Fi connection. The central position will allow you to be right in the central square of the town, to take walks among the characteristical art shops and antique stores, and to relax while having a drink in one of the numerous café of the town centre, completely "breathing" the atmosphere of Cortona.

We were warmly welcomed after a long day of travel to a wonderful apartment in Cortona. Even though it was late night of our arrival Giampiero helped us to find parking and assisted in unloading our bags. He showed us around the apartment and made sure we had everything we needed for a restful stay. He was always available via text or phone to assist and direct us. We have visited Cortona many times and would have to say that I Terrazzinni apartment was by far the best place we have stayed. We hope to return soon, Thanks Giampiero

Lisa & Ken2014-09-26T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing stay in Cortona in Giampiero's apartment. Place was immaculate, host was extremely helpful. Couldn't imagine better place to stay...and the view is to die for. We would definetely come back !

Magdalena2015-06-22T00:00:00Z

We arrived at the apartment building to find it surrounded by scaffolding and plastic. We could not believe that this would be where we had booked. Giampiero met us and assured us it was OK then escorted us through an opening in the scaffolding to the front door. He told us that the builders started at 8am and finished at 5pm. We climbed the 37 stairs to the apartment and found the top of the scaffolding blocking some of the view as shown on the Airbnb listing. The next day we went out earlier than planned because of the noise and vibrations of the jackhammers being used on our building and the sight of the heads of the builders walking past our balcony. We returned about 3.30pm for a rest and to relax after a busy day. The noise, dust and smell from the heavy duty drilling outside or above our unit did not allow us to open windows or doors for fresh air or views and became intolerable so I emailed Giampiero on the Airbnb site to inform him of the situation. I told him that we should have been informed that we would be renting on a "construction site" because it was not what we had booked or paid for. We would have found alternative accommodation. By 4pm we had to go out again as it sounded as though the drilling would come inside the walls. Giampiero replied that he was sorry and would return our money or compensate us if we wished. We both spent a restless night thinking about what we would do the next day. Would we take compensation and go elsewhere? We did not here back from Giampiero so decided to go out for most of the day. We did not see him again and he did not send an email til that night. What a terrible experience staying in a "Construction site" when we were expecting peace and quite and a relaxing 3 days during our long planned holiday on the other side of the world. We should have been informed of the extensive construction work and given the opportunity to go elsewhere. If anyone else has booked they should check when the apartment will return to its advertised condition. The apartment interior was as advertised and shown in the photos. Every other apartment that we booked during our 5 week holiday has been fantastic. Only this one has spoiled our trip. We have many photos of the construction work which we would like to publish.

Giampiero and his wife are very friendly, and perfect hosts! This apartment is beyond amazing and made our almost two weeks there perfect. Very relaxing, great location, great value, great everything!

The apartment was beyond expectations. Breathtaking views of Corona and easy walking distance into town and restaurants. The apartment had everything you could need and very comfortable. We didn't want to leave. Giampiero was a very helpful host and welcoming.

The apartment on Via Maffai is in a wonderful position and has the most amazing views over the valley below. Yes there is scaffolding surrounding the building which is a bit sad and a wee bit disappointing. But it doesn't obstruct the view from the apartment. Also be aware there are builders working on site below and yes they are noisy. But as we didn't sit in the apartment during the day it didn't impact on us too much.Our host Giampiero was easy to contact for any help needed. We really enjoyed our months stay in Cortona.

Giampiero and Maria were waiting to greet me at the apartment and made me feel very welcome. This apartment felt like home from home and I having extended my stay in Cortona, I was pleased that the apartment was available. The apartment is very clean and tidy and clearly a lot of thought has been put into making it comfortable for guests. The kitchen had everything I needed and the addition of wine, coffee, biscuits and sweets was very thoughtful. The internet was reliable and everything worked well. However, beyond all of this and the thing which sets this place apart is the truly magnificent view. The large windows and balcony form a picture-perfect frame to a view above Cortona, spreading across the plain to Lake Trasimeno. I travel a LOT and I can't remember ever staying anywhere with a more impressive view than this. I stayed in August so the weather was perfect for opening the large shutters and leaving the windows wide open, day and night. I really can't overstate what an impressive view this apartment has and I would have to say that for the view alone, I'd love to come back here. Beyond that, the hospitality of Giampiero and Maria and the clean comfort of the apartment was a welcome bonus. This is undoubtedly a winner. This apartment has one bedroom but I was able to see the hosts' other apartment in the same building with the same view, which has two bedrooms and would be perfect for a family. I look forward to returning to Cortona and to this apartment soon.

Cortona is amazing and the view from the apartment is amazing. The apartment is the perfect size for a couple and kept in very good condition. Giampiero was easy to get in touch with and extremely helpful, except when I messaged him with a suggestion the last day. The problem we had is that it was never disclosed that a major remodel is going on in the apartment below. We arrived to find scaffold completely surrounding the building, slightly blocking the view as well. The people next door had booked Giampiero's other apartment next door for a month and were very distraught. Understandably so. I sent a message to Giampiero suggesting that he disclose this to his next guests BEFORE they arrive and he did not reply. That was the only message that he did not reply to. Honestly, it only affected us one day that we wanted to hang out, read, and nap. There was hammering, drilling, and the tops of heads walking back and forth in front of our view. Not exactly the serene setting we had signed up for.

We stayed in the loft-landscaped open space for four days. Convenient, comfortable, warm and well equipped for those who decide to cook and eat at home! Centrally located will give you a wonderful stay in Cortona! Caterina was always helpful and kind. Until next time!

Place was better and bigger than expected. Plenty of heat during the Christmas cold season. Caterina even helped make a few dinner reservations for me at amazing restaurants that came recommended by her. She left me a great bottle of wine and I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Caterina's apartment is as shown. Very well done and equipped. Really first class. Comfy bed. Great location and the position helps walk off some calories. Communication with Caterina was easy and timely. Only possible negative is no windows so you are kind of shut in. But I would not hesitate to stay again at her place when next in Corrtona. Grazie Caterina!

The home of Catherine is a perfect choice to spend some 'time in one of the most beautiful parts of Tuscany. It is equipped with everything you need to feel at home and is a welcoming and warm. Inside the phones do not take, something that personally I was very pleased, and still the wifi works fine. The location is very central, next to the church of San Francesco, which is beautiful as the rest of this village. I recommend it to everyone, nn you could do better choice!

This newly renovated apartment exceeded our expectations. Stylishly furnished and decorated, large and comfortable. Great wi fi. Location fantastic only metres up the hill from the main piazza of Cortona. Caterina was very friendly then left us alone to enjoy the apatment which is how we like it. We love this apartment and we love Cortona.

Sometimes we can exaggerate so much that it becomes deceptive. While the professional photos on the website are, well, professional and the description is poetic, the reality is: the apartment is in a cellar basement. Hence, there is no natural light, apart from the 3 small cellar windows up to the road. The apartment is open plan with a bed, kitchen and lounge in one large room. So the description of two bedrooms is a little lost in translation. The apartment is fitted - out entirely from Ikea. So the 'American review' that claims ..."This apartment has obviously been designed and appointed by competent professionals. Our snooty architect friends would be most impressed".. sounds like a paid endorsement and is an exaggeration to the point of being deceptive. When we arrived the computerised climate control was broken, so the host kindly provided a fan for the week. The apartment is spacious. It is clean and the wifi worked well. The kitchen has the basic utensils. The two police officers guarding the apartment above 24 hours a day was worrying Overall, the apartment served us well as a place to come home to each night. However, when you take away the glossy photos and the dubious gushing review - it's a cellar in the basement of a three story building. So keep those expectations in check.
